S'WHY, ED?

Or, S-WIDE, and S-WIDER for the rack version..? :)

Or let's make it *really* confusing, with "MODEL 77"... :D

Correct me if I'm wrong but this thing is so early in development that it could be 2027 or even 2028 until we see a beta version. Heck, I'm waiting 12 years for Flexion, which I now realize is never coming out.

It's been in closed beta for months already. I've been playing with it :)

You might say that it swayed him :ud:

If you had to take a guess would you say we'll have it before 2027?

This quarter is way more likely. :P

Yes, the name change to Swayed is to prevent potential issues with Native Instruments Sway. I prefer the old name too, but in the end a name is just a name. I didn't want to use Sway77 because I don't like numbers in names for some reason, and because it might be a bit too close to the hardware name. No need to suggest other names because this one is final. :wink:

Further update: the samples are all done, the presets are done, and I've completed the integration of my licensing system with the webshop provider.

Now I just have to write a bit of manual and implement the name change in the build, and then we're good to go as far as I'm concerned. So it looks like it's going to be february or march.

Unless some awful last minute issue pops up of course, but I don't think so.

edit: Should I change the title of this thread, if that's even possible? Or make a new one when it's finally released?

Click Edit on the first post and you should be able to change title, I think?

Question about patches and MIDI controller reactions :
Some of my sys.ex patches does react with standard MIDI vol and pan ( #7 and €10 ) controls
Some other... doesn't.

but i can't see, in the SWAYED editor, where i can change this parameter...
Are there still some little patch parameters which being edited on original TG77 and not yet editable here ?

i see the parameters for LFO pan value, but not for global volume and panpot, in Swayed.

I'll subscribe! This is the most interesting-sounding and underrated synthesizer I've ever tried. The demo sounds great. And of course, I'd be happy to be a beta tester (I developed FX myself)—And I had experience in beta testing.

I just listened to the demo. I'm blown away. Tell you what. I'll PAY you to be a beta tester and then when the plugin is released I'll pay you AGAIN to buy it.

Now that's an offer you can't refuse. What do you say?

Throw in a SUV and a full tank of gas and you've got a deal.
